Can supplements support sobriety? Or help you drink less?
Mike Hardenbrook—founder of Cloud 9, author, and host of the Alcohol Reset podcast—joins Running Free to unpack the role supplements can play in recovery and alcohol use disorder. From amino acids and gut health to dopamine support and cravings, this conversation explores a growing area of interest: nutritional support for the sober and sober-curious.
We discuss:
Why brain chemistry matters in addiction
Common deficiencies in early sobriety
Natural supplements for dopamine, serotonin, and GABA
How Cloud 9 is helping bridge the gap in recovery support
Mike’s personal journey through entrepreneurship, anxiety, and alcohol
Whether you’re alcohol-free or just exploring moderation, this episode offers tools and insights to help you stay strong.
